In the latest episode of the Nostalgia podcast series, Dr Chris Deacy, Reader in Theology and Religious Studies in the Department of Religious Studies, interviews the University of Kent’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Karen Cox.

Karen talks about her background in nursing, and having very strong early childhood memories of Christmas. Karen also describes how she looked up to Margot Fonteyn, and recounts other memories of growing up. These include: recording the charts on a Sunday; who her ‘nursing hero’ is; the eclectic nature of today’s politics; her reaction to the result of the 1979 General Election; who her favourite radio presenter is; why radio is a ‘security blanket’ and how she still has dreams and takes comfort from thinking about what might be around the corner.
